Mythical flying horses couldn't possibly be real; but there is one that we all may meet in our most vulnerable hours. Genre: Mythology, Fantasy, Fairy Tale   Excerpt: They emerge from the shadow-light of the moon mist. I resist the urge to reach out.  I gasp and shiver.  The room has grown cold.  Not the crisp cold of winter.  Not the numbing cold of ice.  Not even the cold of night.  It is a bracing but fortifying cold.  A vast cold.   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. When I was a kid, I desperately wanted unicorns and flying horses to be real. Revisiting a childhood desire in adulthood can be…unnerving. So, why do I keep doing it? This episode was inspired by “A Gildenfaere's Gift.”     MERCH!Interested in merch, like mugs and notebooks, featuring my artwork?

A group of curious and ingenious humans build a spyglass to peer into the realm of the gods, to find out why the gods are not governing the world as they were expected to. Genre: Mythology   Excerpt: Not in the beginning, but early in the history of the world, many mortals suspected that the ones who called themselves gods were shirking their duty of properly governing the world. Some responded by entreating the gods. Others by railing against them. But a few decided to try answering the question of what it was that the gods spent their time doing if they were not doing what was expected.   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. Resourceful mortals versus neglectful, cruel, and petty gods. This theme doesn't seem to get old for me. Two previous episodes that explore that theme and inspired this episode are “Godsfear” and “A Sword Named Blasphemy.”   MERCH!Interested in merch, like mugs and notebooks, featuring my artwork?

At center, a floating island wreathed with glowing clouds, surrounded by a wispy net of light. Behind the island a circle, a view through a spyglass showing a partial view of the moon at top and a night sky. The circle is encased by a square showing the same view of the sky. In the top right corner are bolts of lightning. In the top left corner are colorful sparks of light. Along the bottom stand a row of twelve people seen in silhouette from the back, each one holding on hand on the shoulder of the person standing next to them. This square is flanked by thin panels. The right panel at bottom depicts a partially constructed ladder next to a support tower. The left panel shows a spyglass or telescope angled to view the floating island. A final set of panels flanks the rest of the image. The scope extends into the final left panel. Thick gray fog or clouds appear at bottom. At right middle, three smaller floating island are chained together with bridges. The sky above displays colored gases. At left, a net of light extends and expands from one corner of the central island. A larger overlay of the circle showing the sky and moon sits to the left of the whole image.  A smaller overlay sits to the right. Borders at top and bottom to make the final image a square. These borders repeat motifs from the main image. Watermark of “Storyfeather” along middle right.]

In an age long past, death was not a mystery, for a palm tree once grew upon the earth that served as a path between life and afterlife. Genre: Mythology   Excerpt: He came by sea in ships laden with his forces… By day he attacked, and by night he attacked. They knew that they must destroy him. And they knew that they could not destroy him, for he was now too powerful.   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode?Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. In an earlier story, I wrote of a grieving young man who sought to retrieve his mother from the isle where the souls of those who have died go, just before they pass through the doorway into the afterlife: “The Isle of Mist and Gloom.”   MERCH!Interested in merch, like mugs and notebooks, featuring my artwork?

Three children are determined to find out if the tales they've heard are true…that there is a god living in the middle of the forest outside their village. Genre: Mythology   Excerpt: For a moment, there hung an expectant silence. The man was watching the bard on the closest stage, but he still caught the glances between the young folk at his table. And he still noted that there was one whose gaze never left his face.  “The grown folk won't tell us,” this one said, a little girl. “Are you the one who lives in the wooden house in the middle of the forest?     What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode?

Shane waxes eloquent (ok, he might rant mildly) on several aspects of the mainstream comic book industry including the direct market business model, variant covers, multiple characters with the same name, and constant status quo changes (plus the overuse of the word “iconic” these days, which isn't comics-related but Shane kvetches about it anyway). A mini-review and comparison of DC's Absolute Universe and Marvel's Ultimate Universe (which one does Shane like best). Doctor Who has been back on the air for 20 years! A sincere shout-out to Toby Hadoke. An ailing Doctor Who super fan, lost episodes of Who, and the use of AI. D&D 2024: is it a new edition or not? (and no one seems to really be talking about D&D 2024 to be honest). The tariff war's effect on game publishers and vague predictions and hopes for the future. A tribute to friend of the show Tony Dutra, now sadly gone.  Shane Plays Geek Talk Episode #282 - 4/26/2025 Like what you hear?

Show Notes On this week's podcast, Kris was feeling a bit under the weather, so they delayed talking about Viewtiful Joe in favor of doing something easier. Except that ranking every Nintendo franchise that's not on Switch is WAY HARDER than talking about Viewtiful Joe! So yeah, buckle up for that marathon of nonsense. Then, in Week Old News, Nintendo finally opens pre-orders for Switch 2 in North America, and increases the prices of its accessories. Speaking of price increases, Sony made the PS5 more expensive again, too. Finally, Dan's been playing a bunch of stuff from a Humble Bundle, particularly Gato Roboto, which is excellent. Meanwhile, some nice folks did something really nice for Kris, while he worked himself to death, and played a few more minutes of Paper Mario. Enjoy!

A charlatan pretending to be a healer wins the king's favor, but seems mostly harmless, until the day the king collapses and cannot be roused. Genre: Science Fiction, Mystery, Mythology   Excerpt: The royal physician, Galena by name, examined the festering bruise just below the king's ribcage. The king lay in a sleeping stupor. A state he had been in for three days, and yet it was only now, and only by order of the queen that the royal physician was allowed to examine her king. Galena peered down at the bruise, around the margins of which there appeared an oozing of bright purple fluid.   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. This one was inspired by a previous story I'd written about old-timey medical practices. That episode is called “The Remedy Men.” It was also inspired by a section I read in the “Sawbones” book about the four humors of the body. I bought the book after listening to the “Sawbones” podcast, in which the hosts—one of whom is a doctor—explore medical theories, beliefs, and practices throughout the ages of human existence.  Next week's episode is inspired by “The Amber God,” and “spoils” what happens in that episode. Heads up if you'd like to listen the earlier episode first.   MERCH!Interested in merch, like mugs and notebooks, featuring my artwork?

We think we know their story. The asteroid. The extinction. But one person believes that the dinosaurs may have left more than their bones behind. Genre: Science Fiction, Mystery   Excerpt: They saw it coming. And at first they were helpless. Despite how far they'd come in their hundred-million-plus years of existence, they were helpless to stop the asteroid that was headed right for them. So they didn't stop it. But they didn't stay helpless either.

This story admittedly was an exception to this year's theme of revisiting previous stories.  However, there is a story with a similar enough premise: a mystery surrounding a prehistoric era, and the possibility that something from that era could have survived to the modern age of humans.

A young woman becomes increasingly convinced that the radio receiver in her bargain headphones is picking up an alien transmission. Genre: Mystery, Science Fiction   Excerpt: And I, as always, am Glormynx. As you know, this week, I'm interviewing citizens at all levels of society—soldiers, politicians, bakers, mongrel-walkers, scientists, and of course, poets. And I'm asking what they think about the planned invasion of Earth.   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode?

The story title and the episode that inspired this one is “The Lady in My Headphones.” But fun fact, I make (very) offhand references to events or characters from the following episodes: “The Piecemeal Cake” and “Humans: A Blorgnathian Delicacy?”   MERCH!Interested in merch, like mugs and notebooks, featuring my artwork?

A woman observes an unnatural change in her sister linked to a chunk of amber that her sister stumbles upon and begins to study.   Genre: Mystery   Excerpt: I heard her climbing up to check on the source of the clatter, just as I had. And when I heard Marta enter the room and scream, half of me wanted to turn around and comfort her. The other half of me wanted to keep locking gazes with the specter that was floating outside the attic window..   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. This story revisits the Year One story entitled “Nocturnal,” in which a couple of agents who typically investigate unusual cases centered around science, must partner with the division of their agency that investigates the supernatural and paranormal. I aimed to the write the “origin story” of that division that investigates the paranormal, and found my aim shifting to focus on one strange incident that might eventually inspire the creation of that division. If you'd like to listen to another story of women from a past era who find themselves contending with supernatural metamorphosis, I recommend “The Galvanic Ghost.”   MERCH!Interested in merch, like mugs and notebooks, featuring my artwork?

A woman with unique blood and a man with an uncanny sense of smell are targeted by a shadowy corporation seeking to shut down all research into synthetic blood.    Genre: Mystery, Science Fiction   Excerpt: Too much blood. Too much blood is dripping. He'll smell it. He'll find me. Once again, she stopped for a moment and leaned against a wall under the flashing red bulbs and the piercing alarm. She inhaled and drew the blood back into her body through the poorly sealed gash that arced over her shoulder. A dozen rivulets trickled up her bare arm.   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. In an earlier story, I wrote about the invention of a synthetic blood substitute called “Modern Blood,” through the eyes of a patient who desperately needs it. This new story takes place several decades later and explores a couple of potential consequences of the invention. I also revisit a character from another story, who fits right in with the topic, a man with a supernatural sense of smell, from an episode called “Bloodhound Brody.”   MERCH!Interested in merch, like mugs and notebooks, featuring my artwork?

A locked door, surrounded by scandal and rumor, stands in the middle of an office. No one ever goes in or comes out. Genre: Mystery, Science Fiction     Excerpt: Every day on my way to my desk, I passed by a door with the words “PERMANENT DAMAGE” written on it. No one ever went in or came out—not that I'd seen anyway, and I'd been working at the firm for about a year. I asked people about the door, and the sign. They said there used to be another firm occupying our floor and the two below it. That door supposedly led to a defunct elevator that shuttled executives between the floors, leading directly into what used to be their fancy offices. Or it led to a laboratory space. Or some sort of obstacle course? The rumors abounded.   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. What if there was no such thing as permanent damage? This question occurred to me at random, as thoughts sometimes do, but it seemed an interesting start to a story. I imagined the words “Permanent Damage” written on a door. What does it mean? What's behind the door? Is it dangerous? Is it wondrous? Is it nothing but a plaster wall? This story is inspired by the Season 4 episode, “My Homunculus Is Malfunctioning.”   Special Note: Next week's episode is a sequel and spoils the previous episode, “Modern Blood.” (In case this is something you'd like to know.)   MERCH!Interested in merch, like mugs and notebooks, featuring my artwork?

Front view of the top two-thirds of a closed door.  A hazy glowing light emanates from bottom left across the face of the door. Scattered bits of redacted text appear over and around the door.

Watermark of “Storyfeather” on door at left middle.

An inventor of a memory management device realizes his invention is showing him a memory he hasn't experienced, a dangerous memory. Genre: Mystery, Science Fiction   Excerpt: “Memories are unreliable…” Max paused, hesitated actually. He'd rehearsed aloud what he was going to say so many times— despite not needing to remember the words— that he'd fooled himself into believing it all sounded reasonable. But now, he was about to say the words out loud to another person, the most critical person he could possibly tell his truth to..   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. This story is inspired by the Season 4 episode, "My Homunculus Is Malfunctioning." I am again revisiting a theme or idea rather than the specifics of a previous story. Inventions, even when they do what they are invented and expected to do, sometimes have unintended effects. Some of those effects may be minor. Some major. The stakes get even higher when that invention is meant to directly affect the human body.  And trickier when the part of the human body they affect is the mind.    MERCH!Interested in merch, like mugs and notebooks, featuring my artwork?

A sign above the door and windows reads “Singing Star.” Above the sign is a marquee with a huge five-pointed cartoon star hung in the center. The star has closed eyes with long lashes and an open mouth painted with lipstick. Beside the star are lines hung with musical notation symbols, flanked by more stars. Behind and to the left of the diner is a sign seen at an angle. The sign reads “Dr. V. Varma, Applied Transdimensional Theory, 8-9 PM, Auditorium.” To the sign's left is a set of two theater chairs. A backpack lies under the leftmost chair. Watermark of “Storyfeather” along the young man's arm. The rectangular image is made square with top and bottom borders depicting blurred, grayscale portions of the main image.

Wil Winsome is a magician-for-hire, whose newest case may involved excising a possessing spirit from a beloved and fragile grandmother. Genre: Fairy Tale, Horror   Excerpt: What I got from my mother was her hands. I am the only one among my brothers and sisters who can do real magic. It took study and struggle, true. I'm only half-fairy after all. I am also the only one because my brothers and sisters chose other paths. Paths less littered with singed parchment, bearing symbols written in the faded sepia of dried blood. Paths less meandering into the mouths of bat-filled caverns. Paths less soaked in potions made of dogs' breath and widows' tears.   What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. This week's story is connected to the Year One story entitled “The Dolls,” in which the character of Wil Winsome first appears, as a child, with four siblings, and an evil stepmother.

On the left, positioned behind the woman is a vaguely humanoid shadow holding up a hand with mangled fingers. In the middle foreground, not to scale, is the translucent image of a hound standing and facing out. The hound has three pairs of eyes and a curled segmented tail. Watermark of “Storyfeather” along right upper arm. The rectangular image is made square with a border at top and bottom with a vertical ripple pattern in colors that match the main image.

When Lucinda's dream of studying magic is dashed, she finds another chance in a grand royal contest that she's been forbidden to enter. Genre: Fairy Tale   Excerpt: “Every spell I try turns to ashes. It was not my intention to teach myself. I merely have no other choice.”    What story or stories am I revisiting in this episode? Each Season 8 episode is a standalone story, but it's connected to or inspired by a previous story through a character, a place, an object, a concept, a continuation of events (ahem, sequel), and so on. This story joins the several others where I write my version of a classic fairy tale. Lucinda has a couple of stepsisters, and a godmother shows up to help her get into an event. Hmm…whatever could this be? I've written other “alternate version” fairy tales. Here are a few: “The Green Magic Bean” based on “Jack and the Beanstalk” “The Crimson Hood” based on “Little Red Riding Hood” “The Dreaming Queen” based on “Sleeping Beauty”   And last week's episode: “Why Beauty Sought the Beast” (I'm certain you can figure out which fairy tale inspired this one)   MERCH!Interested in merch, like mugs and notebooks, featuring my artwork?

A bright cloudy swirl begins at center behind the hands and darkens as it moves outward to the edges of the image. Watermark of “Storyfeather” along back of hand at upper right.
